Topic: Oil accumulator accusump mounting
So we have found after 3 races we are losing pressure under hard breaking and hard right turns, adding insult to injury we also burn a bit of oil. The pan is clean the pickup is clear, the oil pump is good. For our next race I have added some baffling to the an, but a team member found a morose oil accumulator from I am guess the 80s. It also came with a handful of an fittings so after buying new line and a rebuild kit we are going to be in it for less than $100. It had the old manual valve so I need to build a remote rod for it or mount it in the cabin. With the rule
3.F.6 Fuel, Oil, and Coolant in the Cockpit. Any fuel, oil, or coolant reservoirs or lines that are exposed to, or pass through, the driving compartment must be encased by heavy-duty conduit, durable steel or aluminum pipe, or strong metal plate. OE metal lines in good condition in their original location are exempt from this rule, but encasement is still recommended.
Can an accumulator be mounted in the cockpit, the oil line will be steel braided?
Could I build a box around it and mount it in the cockpit?
Do I have to mount it under the hood somewhere?
Thanks
